Perhaps the man in the story truly wanted to get well, but he was so fixated on getting well by use of the healing pool. Doesn’t this sound familiar? When people are sick, aren’t they generally inclined to go to the doctor to get medication? Sometimes this is necessary, and sometimes it is just expected and taken advantage of. It is up to you to decide if you want to get well or feel better.
There is a difference between a desire to get well and a desire to feel better. The difference is how the illness, problem or condition is perceived. If one desires to get well, they do whatever they need to in order to strengthen their bodies and heal from their illnesses. If one desires to feel better, they don't really care if they are still sick or not. They simply don't want to suffer from their illness. In other words, it doesn't matter if something is still wrong with their bodies or not as long as they aren't suffering from the problem. These are people who are more likely to take drugs without question. They will “feel better” being on a drug of some sort; so their problem is solved in that case. I don’t try to convince these individuals to try and get well because in their perception, it will not “serve” them to get well. People who want to get well tend to understand that they are on a journey. They will go through any discomfort, make any change or take any step that they need to until their bodies are healed.
Do you want to get well or feel better?
